Google to offer checking accounts

in a partnership with banks and retailers Alphabet will be sharply expanding the attractiveness of their Google Pay offering. About a two minute read.

Comment: Alphabet’s foray into Fintech is somewhat concerning, considering the scope of their existing wide ranging data collection activities. Most users don’t employ ad blockers, nor do they use firewalls. I use both and don’t have a Google account under my real name. Speaking personally, there is no way I’d use Google Pay for banking activities. Surveillance Capitalism is real.
